  • Hybrid spectrophotometer with variable optical path length sampling cell and method of using same
    Patent number: 10359364
    Abstract: A hybrid spectrophotometric instrument utilizing absorption and fluorescence observations requires different cell parameters for optimal performance. The ability to have an instrument with a variable optical path length with a single set of optical surfaces and one detector to reduce system variance is unique. A Zero Angle Photon Spectrometer with the additional hardware and software to support a variable path length instrument is described.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 5, 2014
    Date of Patent: July 23, 2019
    Assignee: G6Nine, LLC
    Inventors: Gary P. Klinkhammer, Chris J. Russo, Donald L. Jackson

  • Method and apparatus for the optical determination of total organic carbon in aqueous streams
    Patent number: 8981314
    Abstract: A method and apparatus for the measurement of total organic carbon content in an aqueous stream is disclosed. Absorbance of electromagnetic energy by the aqueous stream is measured in an optical sample cell with pulsed light at a wavelength of 190 nm±10 nm. A value of total organic carbon from the measured absorbance is calculated without absorbance or fluorescence measurement at any other wavelength.
